I had an amazing experience at this hotel! From the moment I walked in, the customer service was exceptional—everyone was incredibly friendly and accommodating. The hotel itself is clean, well-maintained, and very affordable. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great stay. You won’t be disappointed!
The staff here are so amazing!!! I travel here regularly and love to make this my “home away from home”. Everyone I’ve encountered here make my stay pleasant and treat us like family. Thank you guys! We really appreciate how you always go above and beyond!! :)

For the price you're paying it's an excellent choice. Clean room. Hallways a bit dated. But who cares.
NOTE: this hotel shares a parking lot with a different hotel that's a lower quality. So make sure you check into the right hotel when you get there.
They are friendly and willing to help if you need the first floor or a kid friendly room. Stop through here monthly always same good service. Relaxed atmosphere.
Staff was friendly, first room tv broken worker said been that way for over a year, second room air conditioner doesn’t work and fridge doesn’t work and something stuck on floor of tub that also leaked, wouldn’t use and hallways had same debris on floors for three days I was there
Had 2 rooms- The king bed was so comfortable! Could have used that 4th missing pillow though. Clean and quiet.

Hotel seem kind of rundown on the outside room was okay when I was checked in staff was very friendly I didn't think it was up to normal Standers of the econo Lodge's I have stayed at
Not bad, was a bit frustrated with the cash deposit thing cause it was late traveling with a little one but the property manager needs to protect their interests as well so I get it. Everything went smoothly and we were back on the road well rested. I actually slept really well.
